Boston health officials voted Thursday to raise the minimum age for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products - including electronic cigarettes - from 18 to 21.

Another great progressive idea to fleece Americans. Send ‘em to war, allow them to create lifetime debt for themselves through college, but if they light up, fine ‘em up the keister.
What is the minimum age for abortions?
But you can get an abortion @ age... ?

Marty is a mayor who loves booze.
The city just increased the amount of restaurants that can allow customers to BYOB.
Marty Walsh loves drunks and hates smokers.

On the plus side, kids can still buy marijuana, meth and crack, on almost any Boston street corner at 12 or 13.
AND they have guaranteed a rise in the crime rate. Some of it violent.
Another coup by the Loony Lefty Liberals. A wholly owned subsidiary of Nanny State Industries.
You can die for your country when you’re 18 but you can’t smoke a cigar.
OK, whatever you say! Ridiculous!
And in tomorrow’s news we will here that Boston is complaining they aren’t getting enough revenue to pay for “duh chidrens” programs from tobacco taxes.
well, gee, where is the liberal cry of ‘they can get ‘em in other states’? You know, like the gun thing.
You can probably make more money with less risk these days smuggling cigarettes than cocaine.
How about making the voting age 21? If they can’t be adult enough to understand the dangers of cigarettes and need to
be coddled, how can they understand enough to vote?
That will make the Libs crazy - use their own arguments on them. Changing the voting age to 21 would keep dumb college kids from voting for a while. By 21 at least some of them see the light after Mr. FICA and Mrs. Medicare steal from them....
IF 18 year olds are too young to smoke, they are too young to vote.
Well, when they go up to New Hampshire to get cheaper booze, they can grab some smokes at the same time.
